Hand Media International is proud to unveil the latest issue of Health & Safety Buyer International.
As workplace safety continues to evolve alongside advances in connected technology, training and environmental monitoring, organisations across every sector are under increasing pressure to balance compliance with workforce wellbeing and operational resilience. In this issue, we explore the innovations, strategies and industry perspectives shaping modern health and safety practice, from national accident prevention initiatives and smarter PPE design to integrated monitoring systems and the growing role of data-led safety management.
RoSPA CEO Calls for a Stronger National Approach to Safety
In this issue, Becky Hickman, CEO of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), highlights why accident prevention must remain firmly on the national agenda. From lobbying the UK Government to implement a coordinated prevention strategy to recognising innovation through RoSPA’s internationally respected Health and Safety Awards, now celebrating its 70th year, Becky offers valuable insight into the evolving world of accident prevention.
This interview connects well with this month’s Training and Compliance feature, which looks at the ways workplaces are connecting training with wellbeing and worker monitoring to ensure an enhanced safety ecosystem.
Innovation in PPE, From Protection to Sustainability
Elsewhere, there is a focus on PPE. This begins with this issue’s Innovator with Team Wendy who are a manufacturer of helmets. Bryan Javorek discusses the ways the company is using research and customer feedback to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injuries across a range of applications. This issue’s feature on PPE shifts the focus on the ways companies are striving to make PPE more sustainable and eco-friendlier. One manufacturer at the forefront of this goal is Ansell, which showcases its HyFlex™ Sustainable Cut Resistance Series in this month’s Feature Spotlight.
The Growing Importance of Noise, Gas and Lone Worker Monitoring
Noise monitoring and exposure is another area of focus for this issue. In Technology and Equipment, we look at occupational noise tracking alongside gas detection and lone worker monitoring systems and how they are being integrated into workplace risk management. This is supported by a Product Spotlight from Ashtead Technology which describes the ways in which its Casella Guadian2 Site Boundary Monitor helps to manage dust, noise, vibration and air quality across a variety of environments.
Connected Safety Technologies in Energy and Utilities
The theme of monitoring continues in our Applications feature which draws particular attention to the ways connected technologies and environmental tracking is being implemented in the energy and utilities sector.
